[Voiceover] This is what makes a home - the noise of happy children, the warmth of a full house...the chill of an angry wife.
S4 E6If I Had a Hammer
A bread maker?
We're always running out of bread.
We're always running out of milk. Did you get me a cow too?
[Voiceover] We both have skeletons, which means we both get a closet to keep them in. Arthur has a closet. I know almost everything about you, Arthur, except where you hide. Ready or not, here I come.
[Voiceover] Arthur's been using Four Walls builds around the country as a cover to kill. And these are his trophies. Hanging right up here on the wall just like his hammer in the garage. His blood slides.
[Voiceover] I was born of primordial ooze. I crawled out of my own mother's blood. I hid among the humans, hoping not to be seen. But somewhere along the way, I grew legs, stood upright. I became a husband, a father. I had to evolve. It was the only way to survive.
S4 E7Slack Tide
Man has always been drawn to the sea. But it's an unnatural setting for us. A place of great danger. Tides, currents, waves, wind. Each presenting their own hazards. None of which can be ignored. The slightest lapse of judgement can be a mistake you might never recover from. But a good sailor doesn't fight against these elements. A good sailor works with them, using them to his advantage. While others, less fortunate might be forever cast adrift, often in several pieces, he always comes home safely.
He spent his life killing innocent people but he can't kill Bambi?
[Voiceover] There's a moment sailors call slack tide... when the tide is neither coming in nor going out, but perfectly still. It's a moment frozen in time, when all is calm and peaceful. The only downside to it is that it passes so quickly. As much as we might like some things to remain suspended in time, they never do.
Where are you going?
I gotta prep the boat. If we're camping out, we'll need a tent, sleeping bags, food, water. I gotta get two children's life vests. [Voiceover] Abduct Jonathan Farrow, take him back to his studio, kill him, cut him to pieces, dump him in the ocean. Honestly, Rita, this is gonna take some time.
Your turn, Dexter.
Actually, I don't know any scary stories.
MMan
Come on. Give it a shot.
BBoys
Come on.
All right. There's a man. You can call him the Man of Three. You can call him Trinity. You can call him anything you want but the fact is he's not a man at all, he's a monster. He was born in a bathtub filled with blood. For countless years he's roamed the countryside killing the innocent, leaving behind bits of his dead sister. Sometimes he'll sneak up on a man and raise his hammer overhead... and then he'll swing it down...
MMan
Smash his own thumb and then go crying all the way home, like a little baby.
S4 E8Road Kill
[voiceover] Born in blood. Both of us.
[voiceover] I should have... No, not should haves, I don't do should haves, that's not me. I just need to stop thinking about it.
[Voiceover] So I made a mistake. It could've happened to anyone - well, any murderer - not that murderers typically care whether their victims are innocent are not. But why is it eating at me? Jonathan Farrow - S&M photographer, abuser of women, asshole, but not a killer - not up to Harry's code. Yet I killed him. Now I'm... uncomfortable.
You're being purposely vague, Kyle, like one of my tenth-graders trying to explain why he didn't do his homework.
[Voiceover] I have a feeling I'm gonna make some tenth-graders very happy.
I killed a man.
You killed someone?
[Voiceover] You, of all people, act appalled. [voiceover ends] By mistake.
How? What happened?
I thought he was the right... I thought he was an animal.
You... You were hunting?
Yes, it was a hunting accident. I was so sure. I'm always so careful.
